On Christmas Eve 1968, the crew of Apollo 8 received the most amazing gift and shared it with the world. Astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the first humans to orbit the Moon, and the first to witness the magnificent sight called “Earthrise.” Anders captured this iconic photo as the spacecraft was in the process of rotating, showing Earth rising over the Moon’s horizon. Wow!
55 years later, we are excited to contribute to @nasaartemis program to create a sustainable lunar presence and pave the way for human exploration of Mars. As part of Artemis II, @astrojeremy will be the first Canadian to fly to the Moon, and will witness the “Earthrise”. See you soon, Moon!
